Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

This is a community festival set on a tropical island, held in M’Pai Bay on Koh Rong Sanloem, Cambodia. Its official tagline is “A community festival on a tropical island,” and beyond music it features a wide range of programs—comedy, theater, fire shows, workshops, and excursions—distributed across multiple venues around the island. A notable aspect is its nonprofit approach, with proceeds donated to coral reef conservation in M’Pai Bay. The 2026 edition will take place in November.
